“You Do Not Have to Earn Your Worth and Value” - with Pastor Benjamin Lundquist

In this deeply powerful and full circle episode, Perrine is joined by Pastor Benjamin Lundquist, a pastor, speaker, podcast host and coach who has been speaking life into others for over twenty years. For Perrine, this conversation is especially meaningful. Pastor Ben was one of the earliest spiritual mentors in her life, helping shape her faith from childhood and reminding her, even then, of the power of words, identity and community.In Part One of this two part conversation, Pastor Ben shares his extraordinary journey of calling, from growing up in a family of faith to battling insecurity, confusion and a lack of clarity around purpose. He opens up about the season where he felt completely lost, changed majors again and again, and ultimately took a step back from university to serve abroad, a decision that changed the course of his life forever.What followed was a profound encounter with calling, including a near death experience that confirmed in unmistakable ways that God’s hand was on his life.Together, Perrine and Pastor Ben explore:• why identity, belonging and purpose are some of the deepest questions we all ask• the difference between career and calling• why serving others is often the place where purpose becomes clear• the resistance that comes when you move closer to what God has for you• how to take your thoughts captive and align them with truth• practical ways to break agreement with lies and build a healthier mindset• why your worth and value are not earned, but received• the beauty of being a son or daughter of God first and foremost• how to discern your purpose by paying attention to what breaks your heart, what you would do for free and where time seems to disappearPastor Ben also shares some incredibly practical tools for navigating mental battles, including how to sort your thoughts, build stronger self awareness and move from fear into intentional action.This episode is a reminder that your identity is not determined by your past, your performance or your circumstances. Your identity begins with who God says you are. And from that place, peace and purpose follow.If you have been questioning your worth, your next step or what God could possibly do with your life, this conversation will meet you right where you are.⁠⁠Produced by Pineapple Audio Production.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the journey on Instagram at @peaceandpurposewithp.⁠⁠
